[Noragami] Picked up an Ebisu

××× white petals ×××

Facing such a sacred tree, Ebisu listened to Iwaya's advice and ordered the artifacts in the shrine not to approach it for the time being, and people outside the shrine, such as Yato, also told them to put away their curiosity.But well—

Yato squatted next to the blocked sacred tree, resting his chin on his hands, staring at the bright red leaves of the sacred tree swaying slightly in the wind.

"What's going on, after all."

"Probably at some difficult age?" Suzuki Qi twisted her soft hair and said boredly, "The second disease does not mean that only humans can get it."

"Eh..." Nakajima Xiaoli sat in a row with a group of people, looking at this mysterious big tree, choking silently.Just now Mr. Ebisu entered the house to recuperate at the request of Mr. Yanya, and he followed everyone to study this strange matter.

In an instant, a white light fell in front of her eyes, Nakajima Xiaoli stretched out her hand to press the ground to support her body.Closing her eyes, she squeezed her dry lips and shook her head until the dizziness in her head passed.

"Are you okay?" Yamamoto Natsuki asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Nakajima Xiaoli forced a smile, maybe she was too worried about Mr. Ebisu.Thinking of Ebisu covered in injuries, Nakajima Xiaoli shuddered, it was hard to imagine whether she would collapse in such a scene again.

"You have a bad complexion." Suzuki Qi also came over and asked worriedly while holding Nakajima Xiaoli's shoulder, "Are you really all right?"

"It's okay." Nakajima Xiaoli couldn't even hold back her smile, her voice became smaller and smaller, "Maybe I'm just tired——"

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were plunged into darkness.

White petals, one, two, three... Waking up with a start, the first thing Nakajima Xiaoli saw was Ebisu's magnified face.

"Ah, I'm awake." I don't know who said it to, and it seemed to be talking to himself, Ebisu was sitting in Xiaoli Nakajima's room, wearing the gray sheep home clothes, looking at Xiaoli Nakajima His eyes, which gradually brightened from being confused, smiled happily.

Nakajima Xiaoli bit her lower lip and looked around. It turned out that she was at her own home.With the help of Ebisu, she stood up from the bed, walked out of the room, walked along the corridor to Nakajima Mutsuki's room, and lightly buttoned it. Nakajima Mutsuki opened the door while rubbing her eyes, holding game console.

"Sister, you're awake." Nakajima Mutoki's paralyzed face suddenly became bright, he reached out and touched Nakajima Xiaoli's forehead, and then looked at Ebisu with admiration, "As expected of brother-in-law. "

"Excellent reputation." Ebisu half-armed Nakajima Xiaoli and followed Nakajima Mutoki into the house. By the way, Nakajima Mutoki and Nakajima Mutoki asked Nakajima Xiaoli to play a game. training."

- That's weird!

Xiaoli Nakajima looked at the fighting characters on the LCD screen, and when she glared at Mutsu Nakajima resentfully, she would be even more tired, okay?Xiaoli Nakajima shrugged her shoulders and sat aside, watching the two of them playing together, remembering the scattered white petals in the darkness, and looking at the backs of the two men in the warmly furnished room, she was in a trance for a moment. Could it be a dream?Or are all the previous ones just dreams?

Pinching her own arm, Nakajima Xiaoli took a deep breath, it really hurts.

"Mr. Ebisu." Nakajima Kori whispered, covering the red and swollen skin she had pinched, "Is there any strange change in the sacred tree?"

"Well, it's turned red." Ebishou turned around, "Has Xiaoli forgotten? Like Maple Leaf, compared with before, it has a completely different style."

"Well... I remember now." Nakajima Xiaoli nodded.

Ebisu smiled: "Iwami said that I am too tired recently, let me rest for a few days. If Xiaoli wants to see the sacred tree, we can go back now."

Looking at Nakajima Xiaoli's fair cheeks gradually returning to blood color, it doesn't matter whether Ebisu's character is a sacred tree or not.He also won't remind the sacred tree of things like "biting people", anyway, he will naturally protect Xiaoli's comprehensiveness when the time comes.

"No." Nakajima Xiaoli shook her head, "I hope Mr. Ebisu can be here."

××××××

With the evening breeze blowing, Yedou crouched in the corner and looked secretly at the big tree isolated by the rope, and his eyes fell on the white sign - "Don't get close to strangers, even acquaintances are best." —— Sighing, Yato felt a sense of frustration of "Okay, you've grown up, your wings are stiff."

"I take care of you so much, you still dare to bite me, don't you?" Ye Dou pouted and lost his temper at Shenshu.

The leaves swayed a bit.

"I knew you wouldn't." Yato jumped up happily, jumped into the isolation zone, and stretched out his hand towards the blade.

Aww - not at all.

"Aww." The one who made such a sound was Yato, who huddled into a ball holding his bloody fingers, "You really bite!" Yato took a step back, tripped by the isolation belt behind him, It landed on the soft soil.

"whee."

"Who is it!" Yetou gritted his teeth angrily and opened his eyes, the upside-down Nora's face appeared in front of his eyes, Yetou's eyes widened, and the clear blue eyes shone vigilantly like a cat in the moonlight, " Nora?"

Yato jumped up quickly, and stood in front of Nora covered in dust, "This is the Yebisu Shrine, what are you doing here?"

"Help Yato." Nora smiled softly as before, but the silver bell-like laughter sounded chilling to Yato, Yato took a step back and asked coldly, "Help me?"

"This tree will become a demon." Nora glanced at the sacred tree behind Yato, "If this continues, the tree that guards the Yebisu Shrine, oh no, it is the tree that guards all the shrines, will become Oh, a real monster."

"Nora." Yetou turned his eyes away, and turned his head slightly. Under the clear light of the moonlight, the bright red trees full of trees looked enchanting and beautiful, except for the biting point, it was so beautiful that people were surprised when they saw it. "No matter what method you come up with, I will never be fooled by you again." Yato shook his hand, "This tree, I don't want to listen to my father's words and destroy this tree."

"Father doesn't want to destroy this tree." Nora smiled and hugged the cat that had been rubbing against her feet, "It's this tree that will destroy everyone, you see."

Yato turned his head and saw Nora throwing the cat in his hand lightly. The snow-white cat drew an arc in the air and landed on the luxuriant sacred tree. It suddenly twitched like a convulsion. , the white cat fell from the branches like withered grass, and its completely shriveled body made it impossible to imagine its original life.

"Yato, this is not a sacred tree." Nora smiled while covering his mouth.

Frozen in place, listening to Nora's laughter standing behind him, Yato felt a moment of coldness piercing his bones.He looked at the branch that had absorbed the life of the white cat, and saw more red leaves growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming more and more lush.

"Did you see it?" Nora walked up to Yato, "This is a demon tree. My father asked Yato to do it for the sake of the world."

"..." With trembling lips, Yato clenched his fists and murmured, "Liar."

"No, Yato." Nora slowly stretched out his hand, and embraced Yato's body as gently as possible, "I never lied to Yato."
